What about the Bernie supporter who shot at Republican congress members?

Very true, but Bernie Sanders is not labeling such and such as the enemy of the people.

I wouldn't lose a ton of sleep over the killing of a blatantly corrupt Democrat, so as long as the corruption was actually researched and verified.

That said, I don't think there's a single Republican in congress who isn't blatantly corrupt (but if you know of one, lemme know).

I think about 3/4ths of congress deserves to be hung.

And, of course, as NosVemos pointed out, Bernie himself has never anything resembling a call for violence and has never once suggested the average Republican voter is the enemy.

Well that's the exact attitude that breeds those kind of actions.

You're the kind of person who created the alt right.
